A method of applying the air and water barrier article to a surface of a building component is also disclosed.

A method of forming a sandwich structure including at least partially filling an open volume of an open cellular core with a sacrificial mold material, consolidating the sacrificial mold material to form a sacrificial mold, laying up a composite facesheet on each of at least two surfaces of the open cellular core, co-curing the composite facesheets by applying a consolidation temperature and a compaction pressure to the composite facesheets to form the sandwich structure, and removing the sacrificial mold. The compaction pressure is greater than a compressive strength of the open cellular core and less than a combined compressive strength of the open cellular core and the sacrificial mold.

A display device includes a display panel having a display area and a non-display area surrounding the display area, and a decorative film disposed on the display panel. The decorative film includes a porous layer disposed on the display panel and including a plurality of pores, and a decorative layer which overlaps the non-display area and is disposed in the porous layer. Accordingly, the decorative layer which is partially disposed is formed in the porous layer so that a step caused by the decorative layer is not formed or minimized to reduce the thickness of the decorative film. As a result, the design the display device can be slim, and a flexible display device with an excellent folding reliability can be provided based on the display device.

A fiber reinforced plastic molded body includes a layered body, a resin member, unidirectional fiber reinforced resins each constituted from a unidirectional continuous fiber, a matrix resin, and a woven fabric fiber reinforced resin of one or two or more layers, wherein when the layered body is divided into equal halves in its thickness direction, an amount of the resin member present in a region (R1) which is a side from a dividing center line whereon the woven fabric fiber reinforced resin is layered is referred to as Am1, and an amount of the resin member present in a region (R2) which is a side whereon the woven fabric fiber reinforced resin is not layered is referred to as Am2, Am2/Am1 is 2 to 25.

A display device includes a flexible module including a display panel displaying an image, a first adhesive film disposed on one surface of the flexible module, first and second support plates disposed on the first adhesive film, opposed to the flexible module, and spaced apart from each other, a first adhesive protection layer and a first anti-adhesive layer disposed between the first support plate and the first adhesive film and facing each other, and a second adhesive protection layer and a second anti-adhesive layer disposed between the second support plate and the first adhesive film and facing each other, where a first bonding force between the first anti-adhesive layer and the first support plate and a second bonding force between the first adhesive protection layer and the first adhesive film are larger than a third bonding force between the first adhesive protection layer and the first anti-adhesive layer.

Provided is a composition for a self-suction adhering foam sheet that can be used to obtain a self-suction adhering foam laminate sheet that has excellent air releasability while also inhibiting formation of resin residue on metal after weathering. The composition for a self-suction adhering foam sheet contains a polymer including an unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer unit in a proportion of not less than 0.1 mass % and not more than 20 mass %, a cross-linker, and 1.5 parts by mass or more of a higher fatty acid salt per 100 parts by mass of the polymer.

A structure comprising: (i) a fiber and resin matrix material layer at least partially forming a hollow section of the structure; and (ii) a foamable material layer in direct planar contact with the fiber and resin matrix material layer, the foamable material layer at least partially filling the hollow section.

The present disclosure relates generally to roofing elements and methods for making them. In one embodiment, the disclosure provides a roofing element in the form of a roofing shingle that includes a body of a foamed cured cross-linked polymer, the body having a top surface and a bottom surface, the body extending substantially in a plane and having a thickness in the range of 0.5 mm to 35 mm; and a layer of weather-resistant roofing granules disposed on and adhered at the top surface of roofing element. The roofing element can be made by providing a body of wet foamed curable composition, and allowing the curable composition to cure to provide the body of foamed cured cross-linked polymer.

A double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive strip is provided that includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive strip comprising two opposing strip surfaces configured for bonding. At least one conductive component connects the two opposing strip surfaces configured for bonding in the z-direction. Also provided is a component and/or a composite, which is bonded with the conductive pressure-sensitive adhesive strip. Further, uses are provided of the conductive pressure-sensitive adhesive strip.

An ultra violet stable polyester membrane with a polyacrylic coating on one side and a coated pressure sensitive adhesive coating on its other side capable of allowing water vapor to pass through it. The pressure sensitive adhesive is formed of a copolymer comprising a backbone of n-butyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, and vinyl acetate which is mixed with at least one surfactant and emulsified to produce air bubbles which form pores when the copolymer is set with about 80% to about 90% of the pore sizes ranging from about 200 microns to about 300 microns and being uniformly distributed to form a flow path through the pressure sensitive adhesive.
